Michigan’s Caberfae Peaks is Dealing for Senior Midweek Skiers, Boarders

There’s a first time for everything, and if you’re 50, Caberfae Peaks, in northwest Lower Michigan, is proud welcome you to into the senior ranks with some deals.

The ski resort just west of Cadillac, featuring 34 runs and 485 feet of vertical, achieved senior status some time ago and in fact turned 75 years old this year, making it the nation’s fourth oldest ski area. It’s offering skiers and boarders aged 50 and older a lift ticket, equipment rental, and a complimentary beginner lesson for $15 every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday through its Silver Streak package. Buy'em separately and it would cost you $93.

The beginner group lesson starts at 1:30 pm. Equipment rental and lessons are not required for the Silver Streak discount. 

Silver Streak is not valid during the holiday week and the discount is unavailable on Dec. 26 & 27, and Jan. 1, 2013.

Caberfae Peaks isn’t through yet. It offers discounts for seniors 60-plus every other day of the week with no exclusion dates.  Check out those discounts here.

Don’t despair, 49ers and below. Caberfae also offers other deals on lift tickets, rentals and lessons if you book online, including lift tickets at up to 78 percent off. Limited numbers are available each day.

This season, Caberfae is stepping up its snowmaking abilities with the addition of 32 fan snowmakers, an expanded reservoir that will allow water to cool faster to make snow faster, plus a new groomer. Check out its other cool deals and its live webcam at caberfaepeaks.com.
